Chappie 15

"Are ya still on yer computer?" 2D asked coming back from feeding Greg.

I sighed "Yeah, I'm trying to make a picture of a monkey but it looks like a shaved squirrel." He glanced at it and nodded in agreement "I wanna connect to the net but it's not letting me."

"Dun' cha need to 'ook it up to a phone line or sum'ink?"

"No. It's meant to be a wireless internet connection!"

I heard the pull of plastic behind me and turned around. 2D was placing a new nicotine patch on his chest "Oi!" he looked up "'vere's a f'ing called privacy!"

"If you wanted privacy, ya woulda gone into the bathroom." He opened his mouth to argue but shut it and shook his head. I continued fiddling with the computer, the Defragging box thingy in the background.

After a while, 2D leaned on the back of my chair watching me redraw the squirrel/monkey mutant "I rememba' wot' yer friend Kirstie said when she first rang ya. She said 'vat ya had pictures o' me plastered all ova' ya desktop 'nd stuff. I dun' see any." He sounded disappointed.

"She's crazy."

"I f'ought 'vat monkeys 'ad smaller ears. It looks a lil' like a bat now."

I stared at the squirrel/monkey/bat manifestation and grunted "Whatever. I'm going." I hopped off the computer chair.

"Huh?"

"I may have my computer but I'm bored."

2D shook his head "Ya ain't easy to please are ya?"

"I'm fussy, I know." Then suddenly I realized what day it was. It was Hugday! Ever since I was little, I had made up my own days of the year and if no one abided by them, I would have a tantrum. I had a lot of my own days and Hugday was twice a month "It's Hugday!" I yelled throwing my arms around 2D.

"Huh? 'ugday?"

"Yeah, it's a day I made up because the yearly calendar is too boring. Hugday is twice a month."

"O.K.?"

I let go and looked at him seriously "You don't think it's a…" I hesitated "Stupid idea, do you?"

2D searched for an answer "Uh… Well, it makes sense so I guess it's awright. I certainly dun' mind it." He winked at me.

I smiled and then gave him a bone-crunching hug "Oh thank you! Everyone thinks I'm weird for making up days of the year."

He gasped for breath, coughing and spluttering as I let go. I jumped up and down excitedly "I have to wish happy Hugday to everyone else!"

2D raised his eyebrow "Ev'n Murdoc?"

"Yes," I nodded seriously "Even Murdoc."

"Murdoc!" I shouted as I whacked at his door with a shovel. He came out and looked at me as if I was a psycho (which I was) then to the door.

"Um… Why did you pummel my door with a shovel?" he asked calmly. I ignored him and locked him in a fatal hug. He grunted and tried wriggling free.

"Happy Hugday!" I felt a hard tug on my hair and dropped him only to be dragged down with him "Ow!" I yelped.

"You idiot!" Murdoc mumbled it sounded loud since he was right next to my ear "You got your 'air stuck around my cross." He started tugging at it.

"Ow! That hurts!"

"Stop bein' a wuss."

"Owchie!"

"Quit yer movin'!"

"Stop it!"

"It's almost out."

"Ow! Ow ow!"

"You squeal like a stuck pig!"

My eyes widened angrily. He saw this and gulped. He knew what calling me a pig implied.

I rose up slowly, the cross now out of my hair "Did you just call me fat?" I asked looking away from him. Everyone knew I was sensitive on my weight not that I was fat.

"N-n-no." He stuttered. The tables had turned. For once Murdoc was afraid of me.

"But you called me a pig!" I whirled at him and growled in his face. 2D came rushing over.

"Oi! What iappened to 'appy 'ugday?" he asked prying me away from Murdoc.

"He called me fat."

"'e dun' mean it."

"He did!"

Murdoc let out a sigh and swallowed his pride. He came over and gave me a soft hug "'appy… 'ugday." He managed to say.

I smiled and hugged him back "Yay! Happy Hugday!" I let go, smiled at both of them, and ran off to stalk- I mean find Noodle and Russel. 2D and Murdoc followed behind slowly. 2D explained about my Hugday and that I had my own days on the yearly calendar.

"Konichi-WA!" Noodle began as I squeezed her to almost certain death.

"Happy Hugday!" I squealed probably deafening her. I dropped her and ran after my next victim.

2D and Murdoc came across Noodle rubbing her head and gasping for breath.

"Wha-What she do that for?" She asked looking in the direction I had skipped off to. 2D told her about my days for the calendar also.

"I 'ate te wonder what ov'er days she 'as in store fer us…" Murdoc mumbled.

"Russel!" I cried as I ran to him. He looked at me with a very fearful expression. I wasn't surprised, what would you do if some 15 year-old came bounding down the corridor, arms outstretched, devilish glint in her eyes, wearing sheep pajamas and screaming "Happy Hugday!"?

I collided with him knocking him back a little "Oof!" I fell back in pain. I made a note to myself, never run headfirst into Russel's stomach because you'll fly right back out.

"Happy Hugday?" Russel looked down at me. I stood and gave him the fatal Hugday hug. The bone-breaking pain didn't effect him but he was nice enough to accept the hug.

2D, Murdoc and Noodle caught up with me eventually.

"Happy Hugday everyone!" I smiled.

2D and Noodle smiled in response while Russel and Murdoc exchanged freaked-out glances.

"Now," I began "On happy Hugday anyone can give anyone else a hug and that person has to hug them back no matter how repulsed they are." I pointed at Murdoc "For example,"

"Oi! I ain't repulsive, I'm a-" He started.

"A sex symbol, yeah, yeah, we've heard it all before!" I cut him short "Anyway, before I was so rudely interrupted," Murdoc crossed his arms angrily "As an example, if Murdoc was going to give me a hug," I gestured for him to hug me. He sighed and just slumped one arm around my shoulder "Like so, then I would have to hug him back even if I didn't want to. But I don't mind hugging anybody, even a zombie!" He pulled away before I could lock him in a hug and I fell onto the floor.

"I f'ink we all get the point." He grumbled.

"Okay! Happy Hugday! Remember to always wish each other a happy Hugday, alright?" I wobbled as I stood.

Everyone nodded. I smiled. They started to disperse when 2D came over and held my in a tight hug. I was careful not to hurt him this time. I never knew my own strength.

I ran around Kong Studios. I Grabbed Mike the monkey and nearly killed him in a hug. I caught that little demon guy who hates Murdoc and always hid out in the bathrooms and sometimes in 2D's room and nearly killed it too. I skipped down the mountain to greet the zombies.

I had three under each arm when Noodle came down.

"Why you hugging zombies?" she asked. One crept up behind her she grabbed its throat and heaved to her left and it flew across the graveyard, into a few other zombies and splatted into a tombstone.

"Because everyone… Everything is included in happy Hugday!"

"Okay!" She grinned and locked a few zombies in hugs too. It was weird because some of the zombies fell apart so I had to pick up their individual limbs and hug them too.

"Oi! Dullard wan's ya!" Murdoc yelled down to me.

I sighed "Sorry Noods. Hug a few extra zombies for me!" She nodded and I ran up the mountain.

I collapsed. I was tired after continuous running. Murdoc's shadow loomed over me. I looked up. On his shoulder was his one and only friend, Cortez, his pet crow/raven.

I stood and reached out to the bird "Yay! He's alive." He eyed my hand suspiciously and allowed me to stroke his head.

"No! Cortez no!" Murdoc ordered at the bird pulling it away from me "You don't like her. She is a happy hug freak."

The bird actually nodded and glared at me. It seriously freaked me out so I edged towards the Studio entrance. It let out a scary, loud squawk that sent me running inside. I stopped to catch my breath. I was still tired form my mountain climb. I began calling for 2D.

"2D? Where the hell are you?" There was a long pause then suddenly, he caught me in a tight hug. I flinched.

"Gotcha!" He laughed. He was dressed in the same outfit he wore in the Dirty Harry video (For those of you who haven't seen the video, it was black combat boots, camouflage pants, fingerless gloves, no shirt, and a helmet.). I thought he looked damn hot like that "Anova 'appy 'ugday 'ug fer ya."

"Thank you." I smiled hugging him back "So, what's the reason you called me?"

He looked back to the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping and then lowered his voice to a whisper "I f'ink zombies 'ave invaded da studio."

I cocked my head to one side and looked at him strangely "What?"

He sighed "I f'ink zombies 'ave broken inte da studio."

"Oh, what makes you think that?"

He cleared his throat "Look behind ya."

I looked at him unsurely then turned…

Happy Hugday people! That's all I got to say I luv ya all who are nice and considerate enough to review!
